Cold Dinner - Peanut Sesame Noodles

Everyone once in a while, the weather gets so hot that even in Seattle Washington, you do not want to turn on the stove or oven even for a minute. If it happens that you also do not want to eat sandwiches, and cannot convince your family that a salad can be considered a meal, then you need recipes like this.

Peanut Sauce

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/3 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons sugar

4 teaspoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon white vinegar

3 to 4 cloves minced garlic

water to thin sauce and make stirable

Cooked, drained and cooled Spaghetti Noodles

Garnish

thinly sliced cucumber

crushed peanuts

shredded carrots

The sauce just needs to be well combined and can be done many days before hand. I often make a double batch and keep the extra in a pint jar in the fridge for another dinner or lunch. Combine everything right before eating and enjoy! This is a wonderful vegetarian cold meal for those hot days. Its also great picnic food if you want something a bit different than your usual fair.
